    Odd issue with UI3 and viewing alerts with a newly added camera

    I added a new camera today to BI and when I filter to show Person Alerts as shown below, this camera lists the alerts as shown, but when I click to view the person alert it plays the entire clip starting at 17:00 AND 17:03 which doesn't start where the person shows up in the clip. My other...

    Are there any PoE "powerable" warm white lights?

    I will be receiving a new IPC-Color4K-T that I won from Andy's lottery. Right now, all of my 5442s use off-camera PoE powered IR illuminators. I'd like to provide the IPC-Color4K-T with off-camera warm light that is PoE powered. Anyone found anything that will work for this? Thanks

    Push notification timing, is this about right?

    Dell OptiPlex won't boot... single beep

    This morning, I rebooted my BI PC and it won't come back up. Unplugged the power and plugged it back in. It shows power, but the screen never turns on and I hear a single beep. Not very good at troubleshooting PC boot issues and could use some help. Thanks!

    Looking for suggestions on a replacement BI PC and GPU for CPAI

    I've been running BI on a Dell OptiPlex 3010 for ages. It has 16 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA P400 GPU. Now that I have 17 cams and 16 of them running CPAI, I'd like to request your help in selecting a replacement PC and GPU. Could a nice replacement be had for under $500, including the GPU? Thanks!

    Can't get notification to work after re-installing the BI app on my iPhone

    Long story short, I had to delete and reinstall the BI app on my iPhone today. After reinstalling the app, I went to the BI console, and removed my old mobile device before connecting to the BI PC for the first time from the app. After connecting for the first time, it showed my iPhone in the...

    Push notification delay, is this timing typical?

    First push is ~1.5 seconds from the trigger and the second push is almost 3 seconds after trigger. I'd really like to get faster notifications, is push the best way? Thanks 0 10/9/2023 6:19:32.048 PM Street_Cam AI: [ipcam-general] vehicle:86% [273,507 468,650] 164ms 0...

    I have one camera that keeps trying to connect with an IP on the internet

    I have my firewall dropping these attempts, just curious why only one of my 17 Dahua cams are doing this. Granted, it's a different model from any of my others. All of my cameras are configured in my firewall to drop traffic to and from the internet. IP that it's trying to reach is: 13.52.30.245

    Temporarily would like to see motion rectangles

    How do I turn on object motion rectangles when viewing alerts in UI3? I have several cameras that will trigger with "nothing found" and I'd like to watch the alert and see what actually caused the camera to trigger. Thanks!

    Does Dahua make a PTZ that has comparable night vision quality to the IPC-T5442T-ZE?

    Subject pretty much covers the question. I currently have a SD1A404XB-GNR and its night vision quality is not very good, even with extra IR illumination. Looking for a replacement PTZ. Thanks!

    Any 12V AC powered IR illuminators out there?

    I need more IR light back in my wooded area. I only have 12V AC power out there. I'm starting to look today for AC powered IR lights, but I'm hoping someone may know. I don't believe solar powered IR would work back there if there is such a thing. Thanks!

    How to properly use Testing & Tuning with the Analyze with AI option

    I know that you can drop the DAT file into the AI status window and see what each alert image AI analysis returns. I'm trying to use the Testing & Tuning with the Analyze with AI option when I play a clip that doesn't have a DAT file saved with it. When I play the clip, the AI status window...

    Issue with PTZ remembering proper preset

    I have a SD1A404XB-GNR PTZ. Is it common for it to not land on the preset PTZ setting when it returns from another preset? For example. I have 4 presets on my PTZ. 1 is the overview of my back yard. 2 looks left and zooms, 3 looks right and zooms and 4 looks over the back yard like 1 but is...

    Alert Action is not sending email - what am I missing?

    I set up an Alert Action to send an email and it doesn't work. I've tried two different SMTP servers and two different email addresses as the recipient. I manually trigger the camera to test, no email is sent. Same alert configuration works in the Trigger tab Immediate Actions. Any ideas?

    Is there any way to repeat alert notifications?

    During the night I like to be notified when a person or vehicle enters my property. I use the critical alerts setting to ensure these notifications break through my do not disturb setting on my iPhone.

    Best PoE Splitter to power a PTZ camera?

    I have a DH-SD1A404XB-GNR-W PTZ that does not support PoE power. Instead, I have to use a PoE splitter to power the camera. I have a couple of different PoE splitters that I have tried and they power the camera, but it resets because it loses power. I've tried different cables and PoE ports from...

    Camera appears to be bricked, need help unbricking it

    This morning, one of my cams had hundreds of these alerts from my Unifi network controller. It's really strange because the IP of the camera is 192.168.1.216. I reset the port and the camera goes offline within a few seconds. Anyone else with a Unifi network experience this. Do I need to add...

    5442 Smart IR setting?

    I don't use the onboard IR illuminator for any of my 5442s, instead I use a Tendelux external IR with each FOV. I noticed there's a setting called Smart IR. What does it do if I'm not using the onboard IR? Turning it off really changes the exposure of the scene. What's the best practice for my...
